 As soon as the battle began, there arose a cry of "Knights of Solaris," but not from where was expected. The forces under Uulmshar's command were slaughtered from within while Alliance advanced on their front, as many of their men turned upon their fellows.

+[[Legion]] marched forth, accompanied by a diplomat and healer from the [[Order of the Abbot]], to explore the mysterious realm of Langerhausen.  They sought to ascertain whether the lands were still inhabited, and the knights still upholding their feudal obligations.
 To such ends Legion landed an exploration party at the Langer mainland keep.  The keep was found to be inhabited still, but communications broke down as adrenaline ran high, and a fierce fight ensued.  The knights managed to narrowly hold their keep, despite failing to drive Legion from the field.
